Apple Posts MobileMe iDisk App Video Tutorial

Does anyone know if you can store movies on there and then watch them on your phone? I'm thinking I can put TV seasons on my iDisk and then watch them per episode while I'm at work without wasting space on my phone.

this is not an apple restriction. Quickoffice let's you do everything that iDisk appl does including upload iDisk and get mail attachments. You can move files between three sources/destinations: iPhone, iDisk, email attachments

It would be so awesome if Apple would come up with a Mobile Me plan for just iDisk and Find my iPhone. I would love to be able to use these features, but don't need another email account. Definitely don't need to pay $99 / year for another email account I won't use. It would be great if they had a less pricey option that only gave you iDisk and Find my iPhone capabilities.

First of all iDisk is free... So if you have Mobile me but not Quickoffice, that is a point in it's favour.
A less expensive mobile me service would be great but unlikely. If anything I see Apple expanding it's capabilities and possibly raising the price, not lowering it.

Mail is usually a free thing with other accounts like an ISP that gives you a mailbox for free. I think you're really paying for the iDisk space and traffic. I doubt Apple would give you a discount for not using it.
I have several email accounts that I don't use; cellphone, ISP, MobileMe, even university!
I just see it as a free extra, not part of the cost.
